Davis and I went thrifting today and first I found a Hoover TurboPower 6200 Windtunnel. It is really dirty and needs some work, but I love these and it was only $5. Plus I have the parts for it at home. Then I found a pretty rare Eureka, I think, at another Goodwill. It is a World Vac, but it has Dirt Alert lights and a two speed ESP switch. It is VERY quiet on low speed. I am pretty sure my cousin had one of these a long time ago. It was $8. Then I found a nice Celebrity for $8 at another store. I need the main attachments for it, but the wand and floor tool are there. It runs great.

That made absolutely no sense and I do not know how to answer it.

Nice vacs as usual you scored. The Eureka is pretty rare, I think its the last of the "dirty air" Bravo II series.  Hoover used "TurboPower" on somr Dept. store lines for Sears,JC penny, and I think Macy's. I think to make it seem more appealing to the 20-50 price jump for the fancier stores lol.
